Wow. Ok. So some of you know that we tried to sell our house last year and move to what we thought was our dream house in Sandy Springs. The real estate market during that time (after we negotiated the contract) TANKED and we (thankfully) didn't sell our Vinings Estates house- so things always happen for a reason- and they do. We are so so so glad that it didn't work out, we stayed where we did and everything ended up like it should be. Since then, our name came up on the Atlanta Country Club (ACC) waiting list so we took the plunge and joined the club. We all enjoyed the pool over the summer and of course Kyle continues to enjoy playing golf out there as much as possible. ACC just happens to be in one of the top school districts in the state (Sope Creek/Dickerson/Walton) and the thought of Holy Innocents' tuition for 2 kids for 13 years makes us want to choke. We've been watching the housing market over there for about a year and have made a couple of offers on a couple of teardown properties. One has worked out and pretty much sealed us building a new home in that neighborhood next year. We are going to be leasing the property back to the current owners through June - after that - construction will probably begin! We've pretty much have a houseplan; we definately have our builder. I am so nervous about building a new house- nervous excited- I know it is going to be a labor of love and hopefully a home for our family for a long, long time. We are going to miss Smyrna so much but will only be a hop skip and a jump away (from West Cobb to East Cobb)! So if you see decorating stuff on my blog from here on out, this is why!
